liniralty-Office, Sept. g, isog. Lord Collingwood has transmitted to 1-.l7,:i•lurable Win. Wellesley Me, a Letter Captain Brenton of his Majesty's sliip the Spartait, -givi,•g an account of the reduction of the Citat!el and Batteries on toe Island of LUssin, on the Coast of Croatia, on the 10th Of May last, by that shio, acting in concert with a detachment of Aus trian ,troops, under the :command of Lieutenant- Colonel Baron Ocharnick. Toe Garrison, consist ing of one hundred and seventy men, was compelled' to surrender at discretion, after some opposition to the attaci.s of the allies, in which the greatest gal-. 'awry was diplikyed by the lattiar, and in which they had only three men wounded. The conduCt of Lieutenants Willesand Bautugardt of the Spartan, and Lieutenant Figen of the Marines, is particularly not icecl ni Captain Brenton. Lord."Cotlingwthrd has also inclosed a letter from Captain Bullen, of the Volontaire, giving an ac oo.-int of the destruction of Fort Ri‘iux, on the coast of France, iincl the capture of five I,7ssels which it prot,cied, by the boats of the above ship, under the command of Lieutenant Shaw, of whose gallantry Captain Butlen speaks in high praise. On the side of the English there were only two wounded, the enemy had bye killed and eight wounded. SIR, Ville-de.Paris, off Toulon, I uly i 6, itioy. Having received by the Espoir, a letter iron Rear, Admiral Martin,, dated the 21 irist. giving a detail of the proceedings of the squadron under his orders, in their co-operation with the British and Sicilian army, which intorms me of their having landed on and take❑ . possession of the ',lands of bchia and Pro cida, where the enemy made but little opposition; I have the honour to transmit Rear-Admiral Martin's letter, by which their Lordships v be fully inform ed of 'what occurred on this service. _ A numerous flotilla of gun-boats which were col lecting from Gaeta; and other parts of the coast, were attacked by the Cyane, Espoir, and the Bri tish and Sicilian gun-boats, when about forty of them were taken or destroyed. The Cyane was after wards engaged with other divisions of gun-boats; and the batteries on shore which protected them, at one of which Captain Staines, on the with, landed; stormed it, and destroyed the guns. 011 the 27111 the Italian - frigate of forty guns, and a corvette which were mAting their escape from Baia to Naples, were attacked by the Cyane, and alth&tglt assisted by all the batteries as she went along . shore, it was with great 'difficulty she got into the Mule at Naples. It is : represented to me that nothing could ' exceed the gallantry which was dis played by Capt. Staines in these several attacks, in which he was tor, three. days (and with little in terruption by night) engaged in a succession of bat,' Iles. lam sorry to add that he is grievously wound ed, having lost his left arm s and. received much in jury in other parts of the body. Lieutenant Hall, the senior Lieutenant, is also severely wounded, of the last day ; as the Second Liectenant had been disabled before, the ship was,latterly fought and con cluded by the Master, who acquitted himself as a brave and good offiettr. The report of killed and wounded I inclose. As the Cyane,has suffered very much in her hull, masts, and other re.:pec...ls, I have sent orders tor her to i n ceed to England to he refitted. 1 have the honour to he, &c. (Signet!) COLLINGWOOD. iV. i'ute. The Canopus. at Anchor, S.E. end of the 1.0 RD, 1 July 2, IL9. • I h:ive the honour to actin you: Lordship that I sailed from McLazo on the 11th of June, In company witil his Majesty's ships Spartiate, War rior, Cyane, and Espoir ; ,and the same day I de tached the Philonnel .t ith tour transports containing two regiments of infantry, which Sir John Smart wished to be landed on the coast of Calabria, fur the purpose of destroying the enemy's . batteries, and of undertaking the siege of Scylla, should it,be iound pradicable. I proceeded With the remainder of the transports, Ece. amounting in the whole to one hundred and thirty-three sail, into the . Gulf of St. Euletnin, and close along the coast of Calabria, in the hope of diverting the attention • of the enemy from Lower Calabria, and of en abling the two regiments detached by the Ge neral, to effect the purpose for which they were sent. F ,, r lour or fit e days it was nearly calm ; and the whole Expedition continued in &gilt of Ca- labria. On the 15th, - the ships and transports trona Palermo, amounting to nearly one hundred sail, ac companied by two Sicilian frigates and the Alceste, joined us; his Royal Highness -Prince Le. puld was on board one of his Sicilian Majesty's frigates, and Lieut.-Gen. Buurcard; appointed to command the Sicilian troops einployA on this expedition, ,in the other.' Sir John Stuart, ,upon being joined by this force, expressed a desire that Gen. tiourcard should continue with his divi'son, on the coast of Calabria, and actually put some men onshore to effect a diver sions-and that the mean tune we should proceed with the British and Sicilian troops which had sailed with us from Milazzo, to make an attack on the Islands of • Ischia and Procida. On the 24th, I anchored with the whole of the ships to the. Northward at the said islands;, and on the morning of the 25111, a landing was edeaed on- the island of Ischia, under cover of his Majesty's ships Warrior and succes s , and his Sichan Majesty's sloop Leone, with several Sicilian and' English gun-boats, without the loss of a single man, and the whole taken possession of, except a strong insulated Castle ott' the South-East part of the Aland, which did - not surrender till the ist instant, after batteries had hteti.ereeted and opened against it. The island of Procida capitulated on the even . _ ing of the 25th : and that night I received informa tion that a flotilla of gun-boats, &c. was coming frotri Gaeta along shore ; in consequence of which the .few gun-boats near us were detached in that direttion, .and at daylight of the 26th, the flotilla, amounting to forty-seven sail, was seen, and a sig nal made to'Captain Staines, of the Cyane (whom I had before detached to the southward of Ischia an 4 Procida, with the Espoir and some of the Sici lian gun-boats to endeavour to hinder reinforce me9ts and . supplies being thrown into , those Islands, to prevent the gull-boats from entering the Bay of Naples. Captain Staines executed that service with tlie same ability and judgment, which he has shewn STATE SUIT OF FURNITURE. Among the novelties of the present day we parti cularly recommend to notice the superb State fled and Suit of Furniture, designed Sand executed by Messrs.,M‘LEwrs, Upper Mary-le-bonne-street, for the most Noble Marquis WiNcnEsma, Amport- House. near Andover, Hants. We must con feskwe never witnessed any thing of the kind so truly ma_=,- nil - Icent; being composed of rich rnazareen blue In dia silk, worked in various devices of the most brit.- liant colours in the Chinese style ; and what renders it still more novel, interesting, and valuable, is its be ing brought from India, intended to be made up for Ring Charles the Second, andalt hough kept so many years is' in the highest state of preservation. Th . e drapery, linings, &c. are of the richest yellow and blue silk, trimmed with a deep silk Parisian fringe of appropriate colours. On the tablets, in the centre of the cornices, are the arms of his Lordship, and MI crest beautifully carved and gilt on each foot-post. The window curtains, which are five in nuMber, - are of Velvets' the same colours, fringed, &c. to copes pond, sofa, chairs, &c. en suite. The whole form ing a most elegant appearance, being arranged with that taste which cannot fail to excite the aeLirdtion ,of every spe&ator.

Baix, they were brought to action by the • Sicilian and English gun-boats, supported by the Cyane and Espoir, and eighteen of them (gun-boat) taken, and four destroyed. No language which I an master of, can convey to your Lordship an ade quate idea o'T the gallantry, judgment, and good conduct displayed by Captain Staines. From 'the time of our arrival before the Bay of Naples, he was frequently engaged with the batteries and gun boats near Balm ; captured a polacca from thence, with troops destined for Procida ; landed himself, supported by some Sicilian gun-boats, and, destroyed a battery, with which he had been for some time engaged, of four forty-two-pounders and a ten inch mortar; and on the 27th• of June,, Captains Staines and Mitfoid attacked the enemy's frigate and corvette, which, with a. number of gun-boats, were mooring front Baia to the Mole of Naples. The a&ion lasted from seven till half-pa , t eight P. M. with the frigate (the corvette out-sailing her much, soon glade the best of her way to Na ples), during the greater part of the time, the Cyane • was within half piitol-shot of the enemy's frigate, but from her being so nei,the shore, and supported by a number of gun-boats and batteries, was not able to continue the aCtion. It is with sincere con cern I have to inform your Lordship, that during the action Captain Staines, and both the Lieutenants of the Cyane were wounded ; but the ship was Itinghi, • the latter part of the action, by Mr. Joseph Mil ler, the Master, of whom Captain Staines speaks in in the highest terms, and begs .to recommend to your Lordship. The Captain speaks alto %cry highly . of the conduct of Lieutenant James Hall, first of the Cyane, and of every Oihcer and man under his command. I have the honour to transmit, under another cover, a list of the killed and wounded on board the Qyane on the 26th and 27th of June. Captain Staines has lost his left arm out the socket at his shoulder, and is wounded also in the side, but is now in a fair way of recovery. Lieutenant Hall is also severely wounded in the thigh and arm, but there is every reason to hope he will do well. I have the honour to be,- &c. (Signed) GEO. MARTIN. P. S. In addition to the gun-boats captured or destroyed, eleven smaller armed vessels were taken, and fourdestroyed the same day.

SIR, I inclose a letter from Captain Griffiths, to be laid before my Lords`Conitnissioners of the Admiralty, giving an account of an attack made by the boats of the Topaze, on nine of the enemy's vessels lying at anchor in ►he road of Demata, on the coast of Alba nia, which were with great gallantry boarded and brought out, notwithstanding the opposition of a very superior force; three of them being vessels regularly armed for war, and in complete preparation for resistance. The conduct and 'spirit of Lieutenant Ham mond on this occasion, ris deserving of the highest praise. Mr. Garson, the acting-master, the Lieu tenants Mercer and Halsted, - of the Royal Marines, and the other officers and men, supported him in a manner worthy of their charafter of British seamen and marines. I have the honour to be, &c. COLLINGWOOD. Hon. W. W. Pole. His Majesty's ship Topoz,e, off Paxo, lune I, x8(,9. SIR, - , 1 esterday observing nine of the enemy's vessels at anchor in the Road of Demata, behind the reef of rocks, under the Fortress of St. Maura, and find ing the Ship could not with safety approach near enough to destroy them, I dispatched the boats, un der Mr. Charles Hammond, my first Lieutenant, with the officeis named in the• margin*, to bring them out. They were obliged to row along, outside the reef (and also after, rounding; it), expbsed to the galling, fir'e of their whole force, and , within half Musket-shot, a period of great anxiety to me, but which has, from great good fortune, been attend ed with the loss of only one marine killed, one sea man slightly wounded. The exiemy suffered much in their retreat when boarded. - This attempt, made in open daylight, Speaks so forcibly for itself, that I have only to inclose a state-• men? of its result. I should be wanting to every sense of duty, if I.did not Mention my 'high adtnira- Lion of the sterling gallantry of every officer and sea man employed on this service, and in recommending Lieut. Hammond, in the strongest milliner, to notice. I may be permitted to call Co recoile6tion my former 'reports taf Ails officer, '4:4 the severe wound he te.i ceived in capturing two of the enemy's vessels on this coast, whereby his right hand is all but useless, and to add the able support I received from him in the recent rencontre with the French Frigate. The conduti of Mr. George Garson, the Aeling Master who has passed for a Lieutenant, while it en tides him to every 'commendation I can bestow, is -but the continuation of that which I have for three years witnessed in him, and I hope I may be allow ed to solicit-attention to his genuine merits.

Pomone, off Cape Bou, lune, 13, 18c9. MY LORD, I am to acquaint your Lordship that at eight o'clock' this.. morning, Cape Bou bearing S. W. distant seven miles, after a short chace I captured the Neapolitan privateer Le Lucien. Charles, commanded by Chevalier Charles Lucien Prevost de BoisSi Ad jut:int-General de France,. Officer de la Legion d'Hooeur. Le Lucien Charles is a new Bombarde of about sixty tons ; she mounts one twelve and two six-pounders, and is well found 'in small arms, with a complement of fifty-three men; she is ten days from Naples, and has not made any capture.— Being much surpri4ed to find an Officer of General de Boissi's rank in the command of a small privateer, I caused. the most diligent search to be made for papers ; but none were discovered except those that relate tet the Bombarde; it is fortunate the Pomona fell in with this privateer, as two very valuable Smyr na ships were in sight at the time of her capture.

PARTRIDGES.--This species of game is very abun-, dant this season, contrary to general report, although very few have been brought to bag, owing to the lateness of the season. The covies, when once sprung, are lost to the sportsman, as they invariably take shelter in the standing corn, and cannot•be got at. It is computed that not the one-third part of the number of birds have been brought to bag during the first eight days of September as was last Sea Sol/ in the same: time. Pheasants are also plentiful, but hares are scarce.
